1 Engineered Threaded Fasteners for Plastics
2 Fastening & Assembly Solutions for Plastic Applications Plastics continue to open up a world of design opportunities, yet present some unique fastening problems. Whether you re fastening plastic to plastic or plastic to another material, STANLEY Engineered Fastening offers a wide selection of high-performance fasteners engineered to meet the requirements of your application. Why use Special Fasteners for Plastics? Each type of plastic has its own set of performance issues, such as ductility, thermal expansion and clamp retention. Selecting a fastener that can best match these requirements is critical to the overall performance of an application. Type B, type AB and other standard fasteners, with wide flank angles and shallow s, were designed for use in sheet metal and can not meet the dynamic requirements of plastics. Optimal Performance Fasteners specially designed for plastics can optimize performance in specific types of materials. By selecting the proper fastener, you may obtain: Selecting the Right Fastener With thousands of different polymers available today, there can be no absolute guidelines to follow when fastening these materials. Laboratory testing of fasteners in the subject material is the only way to determine if acceptable performance levels can be achieved. For maximum performance, a fastener should be selected early in the design process. STANLEY Engineered Fastening applications engineers are available to help you every step of the way, from selection and testing to boss design. Higher strip-out torque values Increased resistance to loosening Higher pull-out values Reduced In-Place Costs Proper fastener selection may allow the use of thinner bosses and eliminate the need for supplementary locking devices. This can reduce in-place costs through: Reduced material usage Reduced cycling times Elimination of inserts and adhesives Streamlined assembly

4 Fasteners for Plastics vs. Standard Screws Standard Fastener 60 S Typical Boss Design for Standard Screw Special Fastener for Plastics / 3 S Typical Boss Design for Fastener for Plastics Narrow Thread Profiles Maximize Performance Type B, type AB and other standard fasteners have a wide profile (also called flank angle) of 60. Special fasteners for plastics have special profiles to meet the needs of these unique materials. These narrower profiles, ranging from 30 to 48, reduce radial stress and expansion. This in turn maximizes fastener performance. Because radial stress is reduced, special fasteners for plastics allow the use of smaller bosses than standard screws, as shown at left. Using smaller bosses can reduce your overall costs through decreased material usage and molding cycle times. Mø 1 Mø 2 CM 1 CM 2 mø 1 mø 2 CM 1 CM 2 mø 1 mø 2 Increased Resistance to Pull-Out In the illustrations at left, CM represents the area subjected to shear when an axial load is applied. Because the special fastener for plastics has a smaller minor diameter (mø) and a higher profile, it contains a larger volume of material (CM) and has a larger axial shear area. This greater area of engagement means the special fastener for plastics is more resistant to pull-out. Standard Fastener Special Fastener for Plastics R 1 FRAD 1 Lowered Radial Stress Prevents Boss Damage 30 FRAD = 0.500R 60 Standard Fastener Radial force (FRAD) is an undesirable force since it creates outward stress and can damage the boss. Although the same volume of material is displaced between the 60 and the 30, the radial force generated by the 30 is approximately one-half that of the 60. R 2 15 FRAD 2 30 FRAD = 0.259R In the photo at right, the plastic boss with a 60 fastener shows radial stress and subsequent damage. The plastic boss with a special fastener for plastics shows reduced radial stress. Standard Fastener Special Fastener for Plastics Special Fastener for Plastics
5 The Properties of Plastics The fastening performance of plastics is affected by several factors: Flexural modulus (stiffness of material) Filler and/or reinforcement content (amount of glass, etc. added to material) Thermal expansion rate Creep rate Flexural Modulus Flexural modulus is the best indicator of how a plastic will respond to fasteners. Generally, the lower the flexural modulus, the more the material will flow and allow the formation of s. Thermoplastics with a higher flexural modulus also allow the formation of s, but usually require a fastener with a low helix angle to avoid excessive drive torque. Plastics with a high flexural modulus, including thermosets, are too stiff for forming and will require -cutting fasteners. There are definite exceptions to these guidelines which can adversely affect fastening performance. Involve our application specialists early in the design process to maximize joint reliability. Tensile Strength Clamp Load (lbs.in) Strain (% Elongation) Time (min.) The Effects of Fillers on Fastening Fillers and reinforcements change one or more properties of the thermoplastic. They can also affect fastening performance. For example, impact-resistant resins tend to act more ductile than their flexural modulus would indicate. Lubricants added for molding, such as silicone, tend to reduce drive torque but can negatively affect clamp load. Again, it is important to test your application early in the design process to ensure optimal performance. Thermal Expansion Rate The stress/strain curve for thermoplastics is very temperature dependent. Plastics expand much faster than metals do when subjected to the same thermal loading. Since very few joints operate at constant temperatures, thermal expansion or contraction is virtually universal. This will affect clamp load. However, this is only a problem if the application uses materials with dissimilar expansion rates and the temperature change is significant. Creep Rate Under load or heat all plastics will creep, or permanently deform. Creep will, in turn, cause a loss in clamp load. The chart at left demonstrates the loss of clamp load, at a stable temperature, over 64 hours for a #8 PLASTITE fastener driven into acetal resin. However, creep can be compensated for in joint design through a variety of methods. See page 8 for more details
6 Installing a Threaded Fastener in Plastics 1. Thread forming begins 2. Screw head in contact with plastic; clamp load generated 3. Strip-out torque level met or exceeded; boss damage occurs Torque 1. strip/failure torque clamping load 2. Penetration Depth 3. forming torque Thread forming and Stripping Torque Because friction increases as penetration increases, the differential between the forming torque and the strip (failure) torque must be maximized. Proper seating torque varies from application to application, so contact a STANLEY Engineered Fastening applications engineer for assistance. Torque (lbs.in) safety margin clamp forming strip (10 lbs.in) seating drive (5 lbs.in) strip (28 lbs.in) seating drive (7 lbs.in) Drive-to-Strip Ratio As demonstrated in the chart to the left based on testing the fastener for plastic has a much higher driveto-strip ratio, so the joint is less likely to be damaged during installation. The standard screw has a safety margin of only 3.5 lbs.in. The special fastener for plastic has a safety margin of 12 lbs.in. Note: The chosen seating torque was 65% of the failure torque, based on testing. Standard Fastener 2:1 strip-to-drive ratio Special Fastener for Plastic 4:1 strip-todrive ratio Influence of Driver Speed Increased drive gun speed can negatively affect the quality of the joint. During installation, as the RPMs increase, so does the amount of heat that is generated. Too much heat can break down the plastic and lower the failure torque level. Determining Proper Seating Torque STANLEY Engineered Fastening can run complete tests on your application to determine your optimal fastening solution, including fastener selection, joint design and seating torque. For a recommendation on how to run your own tests to determine proper seating torque, please see page
7 Design Issues and Fastener Selection There are several factors which can affect a fastener s ability to achieve satisfactory performance, including: Pilot hole diameter Length of engagement Boss design Though product design may dictate certain restrictions, laboratory testing will determine the proper combination of these factors for your application. Thread Engagement & Pilot Hole Diameter Thread engagement is the amount of flank depth that is filled by the application material. It is often expressed as a percentage. A hole diameter equal to the major diameter of the s would have a engagement of 0%. In moderately stiff materials, you should start with a hole size that provides 75% to 80% engagement. A hole that creates a engagement of over 100% does not improve performance. It will, however, increase required drive torque, because the walls of the hole must expand to make room for the screw. If the hole size is fixed, you will need to adjust the style or length of engagement to reach the appropriate performance requirements. Each fastener for plastics has its own parameters. For optimal performance, contact a STANLEY Engineered Fastening applications engineer for assistance. length of engage. lead s Length of Engagement Length of engagement is the measurement of full-sized fastener s engaged in the nut material. The length of the lead (usually about one-half the fastener diameter) is not counted in the length of engagement, since its reduced size minimizes any performance benefits. Length of engagement is often expressed in relationship to the nominal diameter of the screw; e.g. 2 to 2-1/2 diameters of engagement. CB d Boss Design Drafted holes ease molding in thermoplastics, but can affect engagement. Always utilize the minimum amount of draft possible to retain good mold function. Generally, the nominal hole size (hø) is calculated at a depth equal to half of the fastener s total length of engagement (L), not including the counterbore. Follow the specific boss design recommendations listed for each ed fastener. hø ½L L
8 Design Issues and Fastener Selection Compensating for the Effects of Creep in a Joint As stated previously, under load or heat, all plastics will creep. There are several methods to compensate for, or reduce, the effects of creep in a joint. Reduce the stress at the bearing surface by one or more of the following: increase the fastener head diameter add a flat washer reduce the clearance hole diameter reduce initial clamp load at assembly Add a spring element to the joint such as a helical and flat washer combination Add a metal sleeve in the clamped component to carry some of the clamp load Use a shoulder bolt to transfer the load to the nut member Increase stiffness of plastic by adding a filler or changing the base resin Testing to Determine Proper Seating Torque The following are general recommendations only. Torque Torque 1. Time Through Hole Signature Curve Time Blind Hole Signature Curve 1 Peak Drive Torque: level at which the materials are drawn together and the fastener seats 2 Ultimate Torque: level at which the joint fails; usually from strip-out 1. Gather enough sample applications to generate a statistically significant sampling a minimum of 30 per specific joint condition. These samples must include all components in the joint stack-up such as clamping components, nut members and fasteners. 2. Use a drive gun that can torque the fasteners to failure and has the same RPM as the drive gun that will be used in production. 3. Use a torque measuring device and a strip chart or graph and capture the peak drive torque and ultimate torque values. Drive the fasteners to failure. Calculate the average of the peak drive values and of the ultimate torque values. 4. Next calculate the average of these two resulting values. This is the target seating torque. Factor a value of ±10% for gun accuracy. Compare this torque window to +3SD (standard deviation) of the average drive torque value and -3SD of the average ultimate torque value. If there is no overlap of the two regions, the torque window will allow the fasteners to be seated without failure at assembly. If there is overlap in either of the two regions, a redesign of the joint is warranted. For assistance, please contact a STANLEY Engineered Fastening applications engineer

A good starting point in determining the proper hole diameter is d = 0.8 x d 1 Delta PT fastener PT fastener R = 0.1 Cycle stress; breakage of the fastener cross section With its extended core diameter and optimum design, the Delta PT fastener offers a longer fatigue life than the PT fastener. The Delta PT design provides better engagement and, therefore, better conditions against stress fractures of the flank. Specific applications will require some modifications to allow for the flexural modulus of the material, molding conditions, mold tool design, feed distance from gate, weld lines, structural heterogeneity and amount of reground material. In order to ensure optimal performance, we recommend testing on initial samples. Please contact a STANLEY Engineered Fastening applications engineer for assistance. The chart above demonstrates that the Delta PT fastener provides greater resistance against screw breakage than the PT fasteners under in-service loads

25 Duro PT Thread Cutting Fasteners Boss Design Recommendations Laboratory testing and service applications have produced the general recommendations shown. Specific applications may, however, require some modification in order to allow for: 2.9d to 2.63d w 120 x molding conditions type of filler db L mold tool design type of resin material density L c Determining Optimum Boss & Hole s A hole diameter of.85d to.89d is permissible for most thermoset applications. In order to properly determine boss and hole sizes, it is recommended that testing be done on several different hole sizes. This will allow you to determine the optimum drive-to-strip ratio that is required for your application. Boss Hole Diameter (db) d = nominal screw diameter.85d.86d.87d.88d.89d mm in. mm in. mm in. mm in. mm in.

S S S S S S S S S d = nominal screw diameter Boss Counterbore High tightening torques and large tensile stresses may cause a coneshaped expansion and failure at the bottom of the boss. Designing the boss with the appropriate counterbore (CB) reduces edge stress and alleviates cracking. CB depth: x = 0.5d CB width: w = 1.08 x d Length of Engagement The length of engagement (L) should be 2 to 3 times the nominal screw diameter. This calculation should exclude counterbore depth. Chip Space Depth The depth of space (Lc) for chips removed during cutting operations should be between 0.8 and 1.2 the nominal screw diameter.
